He also revealed he had suffered from awards night nerves, saying: "When I started doing the red carpet I was thinking there is so much pressure for me to deliver and I'm so happy with the two that I won because they were voted for by the public.

"I'm going to buy a wooden plank and put up a shelf in my room and put them on there."

"We are deciding whether it's going to happen with glasses or not."

Take That's Gary Barlow was also on a high after they picked up the British Group prize. He said: "It's incredible. Obviously there has been a big change for us in band members and to win best band was amazing."

Asked how he was going to celebrate, bandmate Robbie Williams said: "We've got a party and then who knows? I can't wait to get back to the flat, hug the wife and have a cup of tea and biscuits."
